Marie Schttettgen Now that oysters are in season, try these little pigs in blankets if your family doesn't care too much about oyster cocktail. Pigs in Blanket Season one dozen oysters with salt and pepper. Wrap each oyster in a short thin slice of bacon. Fasten ends of bacon with toothpicks. Cook the little "pigs" in a hot saucepan just long enough to crisp the bacon. Place on small pieces of hot toast. Garnish with crisp parsley and serve immediately. GOP WOMEN TO BEGIN SERIES NEXT TUESDAY The McHenry Township Republican Women's club will begin its series of 1964 meetings at the Community Methodist church, McHenry, on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 7:30 p.m. The new officers elected in November to serve through 1966, will be installed. They are: President, Mrs. Thomas R. Davis; first vice-president, Mrs. Robert Orgler; secohd vice-president, Mrs. Fred Bond; treasurer, Mrs. William Haynes; secretary, Mrs. William Glosson. This will be a most important business meeting, as committee chairmen will be announced, as well as other news of great interest, therefore members and guests are urged to arrive promptly. The program planned for the Feb. 18 meeting is one which should provoke much interest. A j^L4' WtMMk mm. \ ±y. wmm RAYMOND CHAN It will begin at 8:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend. How many realize the manner in which one becomes a candidate for public office? What is a precinct committeeman? What is a state central committee? All of these questions, and more, will be answered by Raymond Chan, vicepresident of the Republican workshops of Illinois. He is a precinct captain in Northfield; series on the board of governors of the Republican Citizens' League of Illinois; and was president of the Illinois Republican workshops. Since both major political parties have the same basic framework, this program will be most informative to McHenry residents, regardless of party affiliation. "Politics is the instrument through which we secure good government. If we understand a political party, and understand that we, as voters, cause politics to be either "dirty" or "clean," the value of this presentation simply cannot be ignored. After this explanation of the "why's" and "how's" of a political party I'm sure all of us will readily understand the vital importance, not only of our election in November, but even more, our primary election on April 14," said Mrs, Thomas R. Davis. The residents of the area are most earnestly urged to attend. Mr. Chan will answer questions following his presentation. The public meeting begins at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, at Community Methodist church, McHenry. GRANTED PERMITS The office of Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier has announced that probationary permits have been issued to Jacob Kunz and Gerald Leander, both of Crystal Lake. SENATOR GRBTC SUPPOKTHtS Senator Barry M. Goldwater, who is entered in the Illinois April 14 presidential primary, is shown at left as he greets a group "of McHenry GOP Goldwater supporters at a reception in Chicago last weekend. Discussing the coming primary and local politics with the Senator are Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Davis of 3209 W. Golfview v( he is Volunteers for Goldwater "chairman of Boone and McHenry counties) and Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Wickman of 1215 W. Ridge road, (he is running for alternate delegate to the Republican convention). • (Capitol Report Although the news media in Illinois' 12th Congressional District may not have carried the stories, the investigations concerning Death Valley Natioflal Monument were big news yn California last week. I participated in these hearings / in this great state in which JEfeath Valley is located. The unique desert and mountain region forming Death Valley was established as a Nationr al Monument by President Hoover in 1933. Since that date, it has attracted millions of visitors, including scientists, geologists, historians, and others. Many vacationers a^ attracted to the aridvand torrid climate for which Death Valley is world famous. The purpose of our Congressional inquiry was to investigate the conflicting claims to property and water rights ip the popular Furnace Creek an$ Cow Creek areas where most of the Death Valley water supply is to be found. Our committee's "on the spot" inspection by helicopter, by car as well as on foot, included the abandoned borax works, 20 Mule Team Canyon, Zabriskie Point, Breakfast Canyon, the Furnace Creek Inn and Ranch, and other points of in-, terest in this Valley, made famous during the California <4old rush and, later, by the 20 Mule Team borax mining operations. (For our younger citizens, it may be well to recall that before the days of detergents borax was a leading water softener.) Although no longer mined in Death Valley, borax is used today as a fuel derivative and fuel additive. The controversial property and water rights, which our Congressional committee is investigating, involve the federal government as well as the old Borax company and its subsidiary, the Death Valley Hotel company. The federal government provides camp sites in Death Valley, and the Hotel company operates the Furnace Creek Inn and Furnace Creek Ranch and ^Trailer Park. Following t,he inspection of Death Valley, our committee-- headed by a crusading member of the U.S. House, Congressman John Moss of California-- heard testimony from officials of the National Park Service as well as officers of the Borax and Hotel companies. The conduct of all of these persons, insofar as such conduct relates to valuable property and water rights, is to be scrutinized most carefully. While evidence of unlawful or unethical conduct would lead to the mibst severe condemnation by our committee, action which suggests any lack of good faith would also warrant censure. Further hearings will be conducted in Washington at a later date, after which our committee will make a report. It is my expectation that this report may contain significant recommendations relating to conduct by public officials. This is but a sample of the interesting and important work of the Committee on Government Operations, the "watchdog" committee of the United States House of Representatives. BE WISE USE THE CLASSIFIED RevenueDepartment Completes! Duty Of Setting "Multipliers" , At present, the State Department of Revenuo is in the process of completing its'jpfatutdry duty,'of determing equal* ization "multipliers" for the quadrennial year of 1963 for the state's eighty-five township organization counties, The last announcement gave final multipliers to thirty-six dlf these townships, and practically all others had reeeived"tenttttive multipliers which may or may not become final depending on further internal equalization by county officials. The department determines 4 equalization factors or multipliers as the result of a duty imposed by tHe "General Assembly in 1945. This equalization is the duty to raise or lower the total assessed value of property in any county as returned hy. the county clerk so that property will be assessed at a uniform value. The equalization, however, does not Include the right to review or change individual local assessments made by local assessment, officers. The process of equalization cannot remedy some of Hie defects known to be present in the assessment system, biiit can only work effectively when assessments within an area are uniform in relationship to full value. Equalized property values are also used to detenxliiie the borrowing or bonding power of local governments or the amount of payments made by the state to aid local governments. LARGE DAMAGE SUITS FILED IN CIRCUIT COURT A damage suit in the amount of $65,000 has been filed in Circuit court on behalf of Chester Sheriff of McHenry, naming as defendants, Elmer Jensen and his wife and Joe Simon, doing business as Joe's Tap, and George A. Schaffer. The suit results from a fracas in which Sheriff charges h>? was seriously injured when struck by Schaffer. He alleges that Schaffer had purchased liquor at Joe's Tap prior to the incident. In another suit, Chester G. Helwig seeks $160,000 in a personal injury suit froiTi McHenry Sand and Gravel, Inc., and their driver, Gerald Schiller. The accident occurred in January of 1963 when Helwig's vehicle collided with a piece of road equipment, resulting in alleged injuries to Helwig. o nc^rai hiiationA to . • • C R.
